Late-night jjukkumi and roe rice balls in Jungnang, Seoul: Joajukne
Joajukne Jjukkumi is a jjukkumi (baby octopus) restaurant in Jungnang, Seoul, a 3-minute walk from exit 3 of Sangbong Station at the entrance of the outdoor dining alley. Arriving at 9pm, the table ordered jjuksam (baby octopus with pork belly) for two at 16,900 won per person, plus extra glass noodles and a flying fish roe rice ball, all cooked by staff in under 10 minutes. The heat at Joajukne Jjukkumi comes from chili flakes rather than capsaicin, so it is a safe bet for anyone who loves spicy food.
